D#                     G#
My big brother rode an Indian Scout
                      D#
It was black like his jacket
                        G#
American Spirit hangin' outta his mouth
              D#
Just like our daddy
           Cm                    G#
He kicked-started that bike one night
                  D#
and broke Mama's heart
                 G#
He pointed that headlight west
A#                         D#
Out where the wild things are

He'd call me up every couple of weeks
From South California
Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree
And his pretty girl stories
How he bought an Airstream trailer and a
J-45 guitar
Said, "Little brother, you'd love it out
here, out where the wild things are"

Chorus:
Cm G#              D#              A#
Oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Cm G#             D#            A#
Oh, the nights ignite like gasoline
          G#                     D#
And light up those streets that never
                   Fm
sleep when the sky goes dark
A#                         D#
Out where the wild things are

I called my brother from the back of that plane
The second I made it
We started drinkin' on the strip in L.A
And then it got crazy
Ended up at a house in the hills with
some Hollywood stars
Kissin' on a blonde in a backyard pool,
out where the wild things are

       G#
Couple iron horse rebels
Wild as the devil
       A#
I knew I had to move back east
          G#
Said goodbye to my brother
At the end of that summer
        A#
But I knew he'd never leave

Chorus:
Oh, oh-oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams
Oh, where the nights ignite like gasoline
And oh, oh-oh, them Indian Scouts, man, they're
built for speed
And oh, oh-oh, they said he hit that guardrail
at half past three
Lit up those streets that never sleep when the
sky goes dark
We buried him out in the wind 'neath the West
Coast stars
Out where the wild things are

Out where the wild things are
